"Holy walkamole!"

Good morning!

Simon: "I'm married to you."
Me: "No you're not. You're my son."
Simon: "But who are you married to?"
Me: "Dad."
Simon: "No you're not because he's a grown-up."
I guess I'm not mature enough to be considered a "grown-up". Teehee!

Simon: "Apple + pie = apple pie. I just did math!"

Simon: "What do you do for Thanksgiving?"
Me: "You get to spend time with the people you love, remember all the great things that you have to be thankful for, and eat yummy food."
Simon: "Yummy food is...garlic!"

Jeff is reading a book about the Civil War. Simon saw the solider on the cover and asked, "Is that Dudley Do-Right?" Hahaha!

Simon: "I'm excited for being excited for Thanksgiving!"

Simon: "Holy walkamole!" (I'm pretty sure he was trying to say guacamole).

Have a wonderful day!

Cinnamon and camouflage

I turned the a/c on (yes, it was actually that hot in our house) and Simon said, "Yay! Some nice fresh air."

Simon pronounced "cinnamon" correctly and I said, "I'm impressed, Simon. I had a hard time saying that word for a while when I was younger."
Simon answered, "You learned a new word called "cinnamon". I'm so proud of you!"

Simon gave me a big hug and said, "You ate all your breakfast. I'm so impressed at you!" It seems he's forgotten who the parent is. Haha!

Simon: "I learned a new word: Camouflage. It means to blend in, like this-" (he drops to the floor and rolls into a ball)- "see?" Just like a gecko."

Simon: "Is today Thanksgiving?"
Me: "No. We have another week to wait."
Simon: "But I want Thanksgiving popcorn!"
What?

Enjoy your day!

Simon helped me get an early start on some holiday baking. Here are some pictures:

"Pretend there's a bug on your face and I'll smack it off"

Good morning. Here are some more Simonisms:

Last night, Jeff and I were talking about how fast Simon has grown up. Jeff said, "You're so big!" and Simon answered, "I'm big so I can get out of the car myself and drive it."

Simon asked why I sounded funny and I explained that I have a cold. He said, "Your nose is blowsy! You might want to fix that." Haha!

Simon always waves when Jeff leaves for work. Then he said, "I missed Dad's wave because I burped."

Simon: "Where does milk come from?"
Me: "It comes from cows."
Simon: "No, it comes from the store!"
Me: "It comes from a cow but the store sells it."
Simon: "What's her name?"
Me: "Who?"
Simon: "The cow, silly!"
I really need to be more awake in order to follow Simon's train of thought.

Simon: "I don't feel good. I ate too much." He'd eaten about four bites of his breakfast.

Simon to me: "Pretend there's a bug on your face and I'll smack it off." Uh...no.

This one is from the other day, but I just remembered it for some reason:

"Everybody Hurt" by R.E.M. was playing. Simon was singing along, only his lyrics went: "Everybody burps sometimes..." It cracked me up!

Have a great day!

Simon learns that Tuesdays are a weekly occurence

Simon: "What's today?"
Me: "It's Tuesday."
Simon: "But I thought we already had a Tuesday!"
Jeff (I was laughing too hard to answer): "There's a Tuesday every week, buddy."
Simon: "Oh.."

Simon wanted to play at the park. We told him that we'd have to wait and see if the weather was good enough and Simon said, "The weather is nice now!"

Simon: "Is Thanksgiving soon?"
Jeff: "Yes."
Simon: "Is it tomorrow?"
Jeff: "No, it's not tomorrow, but soon."
Simon: "Is it today?"

Enjoy your evening!

Superman feet pajamas and the fun they cause

There was a kid's clothing swap at church yesterday (yay!). I found Simon the cutest Superman feet pj's. He loves them! I'm going to let him wear them as long as he can today, but once it reaches ten a.m. it'll be too hot. I'm not loving the idea of making Simon change; he's having so much fun.

Simon explains why he wouldn't hug his grandma yesterday: "I wouldn't hug Grandma because she has a shiny shirt and it was scary." The little goober.

Simon went into the bathroom in his new feet pj's last night, looked at the toilet, then at the zipper on his pj's, and said, "This is going to be trick-y!"

I thanked Simon for cleaning up his toys and he said, "Ah, it was nothing." He talks like a little old man sometimes.

Simon: "I'm pretending to be Superman who is Clark Kent sometimes but not right now. I'm awesome!"

I told Simon that he could wear his pj's until it got too hot and then he'd have to change. Simon answered, "But I would get sad! That's depressing."

Simon experiences brain freeze...in his stomach

Last night Simon took a gulp of milk, grabbed his stomach, and said, "Ow! I have brain freeze!

Simon: "I want to go to sleep."
Me (completely surprised): "Really?"
Simon: "No. I was just being sarcastic and joking."

I told Simon to take a bite of his food and he said, "Ladies first."

Simon: "I didn't sleep well and that's why I'm sneezing."

Simon: "I want to watch my movie with Iron Man, and Wolverine, and the Hulk, and Batman, and all those other crazy guys."
Me: "Simon, you don't have a superhero movie."
Simon: "Yes I do. I'll show you." He brought over his Cars dvd.
Me: "That's not a superhero movie!"
Simon: "I know, Mom! I was pretending."

Simon: "What's today?"
Me: "Today is Friday."
Simon: "Happy Wednesday!"

Happy Wednesday, everybody!
